One of the ads shows a kid who is obviously suffering from gynaecomastia -- as if such things are very common in India. Another one shows a school admission scene: a wretched looking old man with a girl child (his daughter? granddaughter? grand niece?) abjectly entreating someone to get the child admitted in the school, but there are no seats. The Great Missionary priest appears and performs a miracle: the girl gets admitted to school. A later scene shows the abject old man bending himself almost like a jack-knife, while giving thanks to the god’s agent who made it possible for the girl child to learn to speak a corrupt, unnatural English, including some nonsensical nursery rhyme. <BR/>The ads are extremely insulting to Indians. The “Idea” seems to be to create scenes showing that the poor in India are only semi-human at best, and the Lord who lives somewhere in the skies has sent his superhuman agents (i.e, missionaries) to enable the young animals to learn to speak English and enjoy themselves. <BR/><B>Are these ads for a cell phone, or are these for Christism?<BR/><BR/>WHY ARE HINDU ORGANIZATIONS NOT OBJECTING?</B>witanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244227435238237490noreply@blogger.com
